CONCRETE BEAMS REINFORCEMENT USING COMPOSITE MATERIALS (CFRP AND GFRP)

Today, methods and techniques of reinforcement are very elaborate and increasingly varied, their uses require a know-how and a mastery of the increasingly sophisticated tools and to face all emergencies. The main objectives of this article are to present a new method of repairing a reduced (intact and damaged) beam degraded by mechanical loading using composite materials, allowing to study and understand the main action of reinforcement by CFRP and GFRP similar cases considering the specifications of the degradations and to extract the possible constraints of application and finally, to evaluate the performance of the repaired structures elements by applying the static load tests on this type of reinforced.
